Procurement Colleagues Help Ukraine

This is an employee initiative of Novartis Procurement colleagues. We would like to show our support and help at least financially. Thank you all for supporting this collection! We will support People in Need which is helping in Ukraine since 2014.

For those most in need, who have often lost everything due to the fighting, they are providing food, water, hygiene items and coal for heating in winter. People in Need work also focuses on repairing damaged houses or water pipes. They also provide psycho-social support and counselling to those who are afraid of further conflict, of the future or fear for their lives.

Thank you for helping with us! Since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine, People in Need has provided aid to more than 1 million people. We have sent 17 humanitarian trains and more than 60 trucks with food, hygiene items or mattresses and bottled water, even to the destroyed Buca, Irpin or Cherson, which were left by Russian troops. Our teams were the first to enter the area. Where we are not physically, we financially support local non-profit organizations. We are repairing family houses or schools, but also water systems. We help in the east and west of Ukraine, but also in the Czech Republic. We operate in collective centers for refugees, we teach Czech to children from Ukraine, we run a helpline for Ukrainian refugees. We therefore call on all those who are also indifferent to Ukraine's development and want to help to contribute. We will use the funds to provide aid to victims of armed conflict, people on the run, and to protect vulnerable families and individuals.

In August 2014, we started helping people in the middle of the fighting in Ukraine and therefore announced the SOS Ukraine collection. The protracted armed conflict in the east of the country was causing a long-lasting humanitarian crisis, we were over a long period helping 200,000 people in particular in Donetsk and Luhansk – financial assistance for the purchase of basic necessities, hygiene packages or food packages with flour, oil, salt and sugar. Repairing damaged houses and sources of drinking water. We also offer psychosocial assistance. We are currently focusing on humanitarian aid to the victims of the conflict.

Thank you for helping with us. Please find more at www.peopleinneed.net
